The Library Foundation of Hennepin County finds, funds and fosters resources to stimulate thriving, vibrant libraries throughout our community.
Our vision is to be a leading library foundation. We strive to build public and private initiatives that provide opportunities to enrich life-long learning throughout our community.
- Literacy and Lifelong Learning
Libraries measure their missions against what the public wants, what services they can deliver and what information is accessible. Literacy comes in all forms of information, from printed materials to digital resources. By supporting the Hennepin County Library's mission, the Foundation endorses universal access to many sources of information that in turn promote literacy and life-long learning.
- Passion for Reading
Reading is a life-enhancing activity for people of every age, religion and ethnic background. Creatively-crafted words transport readers to different places, times and ways of thinking. Reading shares information and allows people to relate to each other.
- Advocacy
The intellectual development and depth of a community is strengthened when it is taught to value literacy, reading and life-long learning.
